No, but we need to wait (days? weeks?) to be able to download from that site again

The msxarchive.nl bandwidth for march (175GB) was exceeded in only one day
Apparently, there has been an article in a Dutch magazine called "Computer Idee" which referred to a link on msxposse:

www.computeridee.nl/downloads.jsp?rubriek=1620616&id=1886703

Since the bw was just upgraded in Feb. and I'm not rich, I guess now we wait...

I'm sorry..

1500 * 64 MB Well, that makes you reach your bandwith limit in a jiffy
Ah well, so by April everything will be back

That kind of numbers brings back memories of the MEP

BTW, there is still a 3.5 GIG file in the /pub/msx dir @ Funet, so.... I haven't downloaded it yet, but maybe it might be....

If you want your own mirror, I suggest you fetch *that* file quickly

hm.. "quickly" and "3.5GB" So? That's only about 30 / 35 minutes or so?

How about cooking up an 'Ultimate MSX torrent' in april and seeding that to the world? How many GB are we talking about in total?

even with my l33t 12mbit line it would take ~ 48 minutes at max speed
